Getting a 1995 camaro v6
 

I am new to the forms and i am 16 years old and i am looking at a 1995 Camaro with t tops. It needs a motor and trans. I was planing to put a ls1 into it with twin turbo for a every day driver. Also putting a manual trans into it please leave any help or ideas thanks.

Fix it up make it run smooth, look great and just ride the car out. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure of your financial situation, but swapping a v6 to a ls1 is going to cost alot of money and its alot of work. If you have the cash and time, I say go for it, but here is a list of some of the things you'll need. At the very least, you'll need the ls1, wiring harness, computer, front and rear coil springs, front cross member, tranny (clutch if 6spd), drive shaft, tranny cross member, radiator and fans, gauge cluster, fuel lines and a new fuel pump. You might need to swap over to a z28 rear end as well. It will be easier to locate a donor z28 with the same year as you'll car and the wiring will be easier to modify.

If you know that you want to do an LS1 swap in a 4th gen, you'll be much better off just finding a Z28. And for the sake of affordability, I'll suggest that you just do a head and cam swap with some long tubes on an otherwise stock LS. That should give you WAY more than enough power to get you in some trouble and be a lot of fun :thumbsup:

thanks for the info i didn't know that it would be that much doing the swap hearing you guys talk about all the work im for that but not about buying all the other stuff. so what about just going to put a v8 camaro engine of the same year. thanks

start out with a V8 and be done. Much much easier :D

Put 100 shot of NOS and call it a day :thumbsup:

so are you guys saying that a v8 will bolt right up without much modifying

I took it as just buy a camaro with a V8 in it already.

do that^^^
